Main Pagewith introductory comments by DC, a table of contents with links
to relevant pages and the sections of this booklet herein reproduced in
full.

This booklet was edited and published by Elsie Mitchell of the Cambridge
Buddhist Association in 1966. Suzuki Roshi made it available for a dollar
or so out of his office, the only book I remember being sold at Sokoji
back then. It hasn't been available for a long time so I put it on the site here.
Read on - it's only 26 pages long.

Next - how this tiny book, one of the
very first on Soto Zen, came about. Fujimoto Roshi was one of Elsie
Mitchell's teachers and one of a handful of Soto
masters that Shunryu Suzuki greatly respected at the time that he came to
America.

The original booklet italicized almost all foreign words with each use.
In this version they are only italicized on the first use. Other than that
and the elimination of diacritic marks, only a few commas were changed.
